Performing Art / the International Convention in Shizuoka

Before the Preview Show of Daidogei,「Performing Art / the international Convention」 was held at Granship in Shizuoka.

At this convention, 3 guest speakers performed.
・Amelia Lemay, Counselor for International Affairs Asia-Pacific and Mexico Departmaent for International Affairs
and Intergovernmental Relations Ministry for Culture, Communications and the Status of Women, Quebec
・Claude Bourbonniere, the president of Cirque du Soreil Tokyo
・Otani Iku, the president of the NPO 「Dance Box」
Guests talked about 「the relationship between art and people」from each position.
Ms Amelia performed from the position of government, Mr Claude performed from that of commerce
and Mr Otani talked from that of both of dancer and the president.
It was very different viewpoint.

At the last, Kouga Masaaki, the producer of Daidogei world cup committee played a cordinator
and discussed about「the Art and City Revival」with 3 guests.

And sometimes the scheduled time was exceeded, because the contents were so serious and they discussed deeply.
Although this convention was 3 hours, we felt this very short time and were interested a lot.

I was surprised that 3 guests have the same thought about 「Art activated cities and people」.
Daidogei is meaningful as not only the performance event, but also the city revival project.
